Looks like Chet made a huge mistake in where he signed to play this year!

Is RPI a useful metric?

A team's own individual RPI is not very useful nor was it ever really designed to be, especially this early in the season.

It's practical use for the NCAA Cmte was as 1 metric (among many) to determine a teams W-L vs certain groups within the RPI. For example a team with a record of 5-3 vs the RPI Top 50 was more likely to get an NCAA berth than a team that was 1-7, if other metrics were generally close.

Don’t you mean Oakland?

Don’t you mean Oakland?

Gonzaga is #1 in the much less prestigious "coaches' poll"

Evidently Pittsburgh doesn't help our RPI.
Our RPI is now a still respectable #13.

We are currently 2-1 against NET Quadrant 1 teams.
That's a good thing.

Are we ahead of the University of New Mexico Lobos?

 

[Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0]

We are number #4 per CBS

CBS=Not Dinks!

Are we ahead of the University of New Mexico Lobos?

New Mexico State (Jerry Kill) is 20.
New Mexico (Pitino) is 98.

After getting beat at home by the Gophers, Michigan hold steady in the NET at 41.

After beating Michigan on the road, the Gophers DROP FOUR SPOTS to 59.

Screw the NET, go RPI

Think that was still out of date...up to 36 now!

MN is one of the few teams with two Quad 1 true road wins...also FIVE wins away from home already. This team is in a great position to finish with .500 or above in road/neutral games, which would put us in great position come Selection Sunday.

New Mexico State (Jerry Kill) is 20.
New Mexico (Pitino) is 98.

So, we are ahead of the UNM Lobos... by 85. I can handle that.

Playing weak teams and winning will lower your RPI.

RPI is now: 15

NET is a solid: 38
